Hello from us all at Qube...
We were really excited to be able to open our doors again to you all this week! Thank you to all those who have supported us through the latest lockdown. Our opening hours until the 23rd December are Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturday mornings from 9:30am to 12pm.
Dial-a-Ride and our community car service are operating five days a week for any journeys. You can call them directly on 01691 671571 for more information or to make a booking. Our social groups are still temporarily suspended but we will continue to keep in touch with members over the phone. We are sending out newsletters and activity packs to help keep people informed with useful information and activities to do at home. Recently, we have teamed up with OsNosh Community Kitchen to deliver delicious weekly hot meals and grocery boxes to members that need them.
Our current Arts and Crafts exhibition is open to the public once again! There is a great range of unique and handmade gift ideas from 40 incredibly talented artists and makers. If you can't get out right now you can still see the exhibition online. Click and collect is available and there are local delivery and postage options too! As a thank you for supporting local artists and makers, anyone who purchases from this exhibition, in the gallery or online, before 15th December will go into a draw to win a hamper of art materials!
If you would like to speak to us about anything or think we may be able to help you or someone you know please get in touch. You can contact us on 01691 656882 or email info@qube-oca.org.uk.
